Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend my brother and his family were visiting.  The boys were in heaven with their cousins.  They absolutely love their cousins and had such a great time.  We spent a lot of the weekend swimming so the only pictures I got of the boys were them at the playground.

Playing with his cousin on the slide.

Going for a ride.  These two had so much fun riding around.

The three amigos running around and playing.

Then they started riding on the toys.  They were so funny and cute pushing each other up and then cruising down.

Everyone had fun getting in on the action.

Hunter and his best friend.  He misses this guy so much and is always so excited to spend any time that he can with him.

It was a wonderful weekend with tons of Mexican food, a lot of swimming, and family fun .

Cameron's Birthday Party

My brother's and their families came into town for Labor Day so we decided to celebrate Cameron's birthday on Labor Day.  Cameron wanted a monster birthday party and we had so much fun decorating and getting ready for the party.

  Cameron helped me construct the piñata and then Hunter helped paint and decorate the piñata.  Our monster turned out so cute.  Hunter thought that no one would want to break the piñata because it was so cute.

 Our monster fruit and veggies.

 The cheeto monster head.

 Here is Cameron's monster cake.  Cameron was so excited for his cake.

 He blew out the candles right after they were lit so we re-lit them and sang him Happy Birthday.

 Here is his brother helping him get every candle.

  Then we had some fun in the swimming pool and bounce house.  It was so crazy with all of the cousins but everyone had a great time.

 Two silly cousins.

All of the cousins.  We said this was the first time all of the cousins were happy in the picture and we decided it was because they all had their piñata candy.  Such a fun day to celebrate a special little guy.

August Indoor Fun

With the hot weather we have been having a lot of fun indoors.

The boys love painting so we made a few bird houses and had fun decorating them.

Cameron also loved playing with goo.

Hunter loves science projects so we dissolved the egg shell.  Hunter loved playing with his gooey eggs and checking on them every day.  We did break them both on the floor after playing with them.

 

Then we used the vinegar to make colored explosions.

Hunter happy to be doing homework.  He is such a little trooper and does a great job getting his work done.

We also collected bottle caps for the last few weeks to make this solar system.  Hunter loved putting it together and we had to look up pictures of each planet so we would be able to paint them the right color and display all of the correct features of the planet.  Hunter wanted each planet to look just right.  It was so cute.

 

 Cameron and I have been doing mommy preschool.  He loves learning about new letters and doing projects.

 We went on a nature walk to collect items for his nature collage.  I love his bug antennae he is wearing.

Hunter absolutely loves coloring.  He likes picking out pictures for me to trace and then he colors and adds all of the detail.  Almost every day he asks for a new picture and he loves creating scenes for each of the characters.  I love my little artist boys.
